Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

A hardware scheme for the computation of Internet and International Standards Organization (ISO) TP-4 checksums is disclosed. A folded adder tree which converges on the correct checksum after 2 cycles is used. This tree structure is combined with a barrel shifter and a multiplexor structure to support odd byte alignment of the input byte stream.

Hardware Scheme for the Support of Checksum Calculations

A hardware
scheme for the computation of Internet and
International Standards Organization (ISO) TP-4 checksums is
disclosed. A folded adder tree which
converges on the correct
checksum after 2 cycles is used. This
tree structure is combined
with a barrel shifter and a multiplexor structure to support odd byte
alignment of the input byte stream.

A structure
similar to the one in Fig. 1 is used to collect a
dataflow and produce the checksum. The
Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) checksum is a simple sum of
16-bit quantities with the carry-out folded back into the result.
The ISO-TP4 checksum is more complicated.
The data is modified such
that the 8-bit sum (with end-around-carry) is equal to zero. It is
also modified such that if each 8-bit byte is added to an accumulator
with end-around-carry that is shifted by 1 bit before each addition,
the accumulator will equal zero (either X'00'
or X'FF'). This
hardware produces the partial products which allow the support of
Fletcher's checksum algorithm. See (*).

Byte
Alignment Barrel Shifting Logic - Each time new data comes
from the input stream, the input latches advance once. Depending on
the low order two bits of starting address, the barrel shifter
selects one of 4 alignments to supply 32 bits to the output. If the
input was not active in the previous cycle, or this is the last cycle
and the count is not an even 32-bit aligned count, the appropriate
outputs of the barrel shifter are turned off (provide zeros on the
output. This zero padding and zero
"between cycle" value assists the
checksum logic. The circuitry used is
shown in Fig. 2.
